Hello, my friends. Today I tell you a great story out of the UK. Oh, what a wonderful story.
00:00:05.620
A bunch of pubs have got together and banned their local Member of Parliament from ever drinking there again for the rest of his life,
00:00:14.960
from any pubs in his hometown, because he was for a lockdown. What a great story.
00:00:21.100
I will tell you the details in a moment, but first let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.
00:00:26.020
Just go to rebelnews.com, click subscribe. It's eight bucks a month. That's nothing compared to Netflix.
00:00:32.580
And you get my show, the video version of this podcast, as well as shows from Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies.
00:00:39.500
I think it's a bargain, and it helps us stay strong and independent.
00:00:56.020
Tonight, finally some good news. A member of the lockdown class gets blocked out by restaurant owners he's attacked.
00:01:07.360
It's November 12th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:09.560
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:15.520
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:19.580
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:25.440
Look at this surprising story from a surprising place reported in a surprising forum.
00:01:36.740
Lifetime pub ban for Warrington MP who backed 10 p.m. curfew.
00:01:41.880
So this is from the BBC, the United Kingdom's state broadcaster.
00:01:45.580
It's like Canada's CBC, but even worse if you can imagine, much bigger.
00:01:48.820
They literally extract 3.5 billion pounds a year through a BBC tax.
00:01:58.420
The reporters once tried to have me arrested when I was in the UK
00:02:02.020
because they didn't like what I was tweeting at a Tommy Robinson trial.
00:02:05.600
I'll tell you that story another day, just so you know how awful the BBC is.
00:02:11.500
An MP has received a lifetime ban from the pubs, bars, and clubs in his own town.
00:02:18.360
Following his support for the recent 10 p.m. coronavirus curfew.
00:02:23.460
Warrington South MP Andy Carter will be barred from some 30 venues in the Cheshire town
00:02:29.920
after the local pub watch group voted unanimously to ban him.
00:02:35.280
Members said Mr. Carter had shown the industry no support.
00:02:42.200
Second of all, we've got to start doing that here in Canada.
00:02:44.620
And everywhere these lockdowns are happening, like Australia for sure,
00:02:48.920
Third of all, if you've never been to the UK, you might not understand the pub culture.
00:02:55.500
Pubs, and I know this sounds surprising to Canadians and Americans,
00:03:00.520
Sure, they serve beer, and the bar is the center of the place often.
00:03:09.260
There's often a little park outside where the kids play.
00:03:11.500
You see the whole family going there for an outing.
00:03:18.320
The kids play together either in the pub or outside.
00:03:21.240
It's so fun and so central to the community feeling in these towns.
00:03:29.840
Pub watch is like a neighborhood watch, but for pubs.
00:03:36.360
National Pub Watch is a voluntary organization set up to promote best practice
00:03:40.920
through supporting the work of local pub watch schemes.
00:03:44.240
Its aim is to achieve a safer drinking environment in all licensed premises throughout the UK.
00:03:50.460
So these are the most community-minded, safety-minded people.
00:03:56.160
So they crack down on people who are rowdy or whatever.
00:04:00.580
And they decided that the threat to their community wasn't some rowdy drunk this time.
00:04:11.080
The Conservatives said using the pub safety scheme for political aims brought it into disrepute.
00:04:26.920
The 10 p.m. curfew was introduced by the government to curb gatherings,
00:04:29.800
but was criticized by the hospitality industry, which maintained venues were safe
00:04:34.240
and the early closing time only encouraged more household mixing.
00:04:38.240
One pub watch member said the curfew had absolutely killed us.
00:04:45.620
Can you please tell me why a virus is not dangerous at 9.59 p.m.,
00:04:54.500
It reminds me of when they reduced the number of subway trains in London, the tube they call it.
00:04:59.860
There were fewer people traveling, so they reduced the number of trains,
00:05:04.260
so they jammed people just as tightly together nonetheless.
00:05:08.520
If you're trying to separate people because of the virus, why have fewer trains?
00:05:13.940
If you're just jamming a lot more people into fewer hours in the pub,
00:05:18.140
I don't know, let's say four hours instead of six hours,
00:05:21.560
aren't you just really making them more busy, more crowded for the smaller time everyone has to shuffle in?
00:05:26.420
But this whole debate's ridiculous, as if any of this is based on science or a medical basis.
00:05:31.760
I'm just showing you that even in their own terms, it's bollocks, as the Brits would say,
00:05:38.400
But did you see this a month ago, when the pub curfews were brought in,
00:05:44.720
as if 65 million Brits had to be treated like children?
00:05:49.740
Parliament's bars are not subject to 10 p.m. curfew,
00:05:52.840
and MPs don't have to give their contact details to get a drink.
00:05:56.380
Bars inside Parliament are exempt from the government's new 10 p.m. curfew.
00:06:00.060
Facilities serving inside Palace of Westminster are as a workplace canteen.
00:06:05.620
It comes after a curfew was imposed on pubs, bars, and restaurants in England.
00:06:14.700
It only attacks regular people, but only after 10 p.m.
00:06:18.180
But MPs and Lords have special immunity, didn't you know?
00:06:22.300
Or at least in their parliamentary pubs, after 10 p.m.
00:06:27.920
I should know that this rule was reportedly changed after massive public outcry,
00:06:38.300
Let Andy Carter get a drink in Parliament instead of his own hometown.
00:06:44.760
The number one reason people break COVID rules is those who run the country don't stick to them.
00:06:51.820
The main reason people do not follow coronavirus restrictions
00:06:54.120
is those who run the country don't stick to them, according to a new poll.
00:07:00.340
An Ipsos Mori study asked 1,067 adults aged 18 to 75
00:07:04.480
how convincing several arguments were against falling restrictions.
00:07:09.140
In total, 47% of people said they felt the lack of adherence to rules
00:07:13.380
from authority figures contributed to people breaking them.
00:07:18.380
Another good reason is that the rules make no sense.
00:07:22.500
Another good reason is that people can govern themselves.
00:07:25.380
If you're afraid of the cough, you can stay home.
00:07:28.720
If you want to wear a mask and think it'll stop the virus, help yourself.
00:07:31.780
If you want to go home at 10 p.m. like a good little boy, feel free.
00:07:36.800
How about we each choose our own level of panic and paranoia?
00:07:45.780
He said people were angry and Mr. Carter had shown, quote,
00:07:48.520
no support for the hospitality industry at a time when we need as much as we can get.
00:07:53.000
Mr. Carter, who has been an MP in the town since December 2019,
00:07:57.100
said it was simply not true to say the government had not supported hospitality?
00:08:03.440
Hey, guys, we're showing you tremendous support by telling you what to do,
00:08:09.260
and fining both of you with outrageous fines if you don't do it.
00:08:16.100
I mean, he put pubs on a sort of welfare, so they should be grateful.
00:08:22.140
Pubs have received grants, access to loans, and government schemes,
00:08:26.080
including eat out to help out, and most recently, backdated support.
00:08:30.520
I'm disappointed to see licensees using an important scheme like Pub Watch for political aims.
00:08:38.420
Yeah, guys, come on, the ruling class is so disappointed with you.
00:08:42.540
You should be cheerful about being locked down, shut down, torn down,
00:08:49.000
Come on, guys, chin up, keep calm, and carry on.
00:08:53.920
The fact that this is a conservative MP makes it even more gross.
00:09:00.100
I see that Nigel Farage, a stellar pub goer, if ever there was one,
00:09:03.620
is looking to start an anti-lockdown party called Reform UK,
00:09:06.800
which support other things, too, like closing the doors
00:09:08.880
to illegal migrants coming across the English Channel and little dinghies.
00:09:13.160
Hopefully, Nigel Farage's new party will scare some sense into people like Andy Carter and Boris Johnson.
00:09:20.860
They obviously are immune to criticism from their own voters.
00:09:32.680
And in the meantime, good on you, pub watchers of Warrington.
00:09:35.720
This politician is actually a greater threat to you than any drunk hooligan.
00:09:58.400
The pubs of Warrington banning their local MP for life
00:10:02.520
from ever setting foot in a club, restaurant, or pub again
00:10:06.420
because he voted to shut them down, to lock them down.
00:10:15.580
And I wouldn't want them to do that to a private citizen for, you know, illegitimate reasons.
00:10:21.320
But when an officer of the state, when a member of parliament
00:10:28.220
I think it's absolutely fair play to say you are never to set foot in our pubs again.
00:10:34.000
And it reminds me of the difference between the ruling class
00:10:37.420
and the working class and other severely normal people during this lockdown.
00:10:41.600
For some in the ruling class, it has been a delight.
00:10:43.800
For teachers unions who have never lost a minute's pay but didn't have to go to work in the spring.
00:10:52.520
I haven't seen a politician or a journalist lose their jobs.
00:10:57.140
In fact, all the MPs and senators gave themselves a pay raise on April Fool's Day, if you recall.
00:11:03.240
And so it is that I see that a group of 70 doctors have written to the Premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney,
00:11:09.820
demanding that he go against the advice of the chief medical officer and lock down the province.
00:11:16.700
Obviously, Rachel Notley, the socialist NDP leader who was ousted as Premier.
00:11:24.060
But someone who's a little more skeptical is our friend John Carpe,
00:11:27.960
the boss of the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms.
00:11:36.320
John, I did read that 70 signatory letter calling on the Premier to lock things down.
00:11:48.300
This is blatant fear-mongering by Alberta doctors who are ignoring the very clear, readily available data
00:11:55.640
that's provided by Alberta Health Services about cases and hospitalizations and ICU admissions
00:12:07.320
And if you like, I can give you three or four specific examples.
00:12:12.460
First of all, they are hyping up the number of cases.
00:12:16.340
But the fact is the Alberta Health data shows that less than 3% of these cases are people
00:12:22.380
who are sick enough to require hospitalization.
00:12:25.640
So when the media is screaming that there are, you know, 1,000 new cases,
00:12:31.640
well, then you've got, you know, 900 and something are perfectly healthy people that don't need
00:12:39.160
So the cases, the number of cases includes anybody that's got any trace virus of anything
00:12:47.940
And the media continue to mislead the public by not providing that context because the hospitalizations
00:13:03.600
I'm familiar with false positives here in Ontario.
00:13:06.620
The deputy public health officer says it's half.
00:13:14.040
When you test people who are healthy, which is a strange thing to do, I think,
00:13:18.900
you're going to get false positives, especially depending on how sensitive
00:13:28.800
Okay, the doctors, the 70 doctors that signed the letter to Jason Kenney urging lockdowns,
00:13:35.400
they say that we are in a crisis in terms of hospital beds and ICU capacities.
00:13:45.000
If you heard that one before, the system is going to be overrun.
00:13:48.300
And then, you know, in late March, all of April, early May, the hospitals in Alberta,
00:13:54.320
and I'm also told in Ontario and elsewhere, were largely empty because the patients were
00:14:00.660
So in Alberta, we've got just shy of 8,500 hospital beds.
00:14:05.580
Currently, 200 out of 8,500 are being used by COVID patients.
00:14:11.880
So COVID patients are using 3% of the hospital beds in Alberta.
00:14:16.880
And here are these doctors are saying that, you know, we're on the brink of being overrun.
00:14:22.560
The other big one is that they are not making any reference to the COVID death stats.
00:14:28.940
And these are down from the peak in April, May.
00:14:33.980
You can look at the Italian, American, British, Alberta, Ontario, every jurisdiction.
00:14:39.960
There was a wave of deaths when the virus kind of spiked, and that was in April, May.
00:14:46.960
Deaths dropped off sharply in June, and they stayed low in July, August, September, October
00:14:53.520
The deaths are not, there is no second wave of COVID deaths.
00:15:00.800
And yet these doctors are pandering in panic to make everybody afraid of dying of COVID
00:15:11.860
Well, you know, I look at the stats every day, and you have to clear through the cases.
00:15:17.200
Everyone wants to talk about cases because they don't want to talk about the hospitalization
00:15:22.160
But even still, 92% of the cases are in Quebec and Ontario, which is much more than those province's
00:15:35.520
By the way, Quebec is out of control for whatever reason.
00:15:39.920
It's got 61% of all the deaths in this country.
00:15:43.860
My theory is it has to do with their euthanasia laws, their assisted suicide laws, and their
00:15:51.080
I mean, my view is that this isn't so much a disease of the population or even a disease
00:15:57.040
of seniors, it's a disease of seniors' homes with do not revive instructions.
00:16:02.540
But literally only 9, 8 or 9% of the deaths and the hospitalizations, it's roughly the
00:16:12.580
I think these 70 doctors want to be with the cool kids, the fashionable worry wards in
00:16:20.700
If it weren't for Quebec and Ontario, this would be just another flu season.
00:16:28.260
In fact, nationally, there's about 10,500 deaths.
00:16:31.480
On any given year, the flu takes between 6,500 and 8,500 souls.
00:16:36.120
So this is really within the norms of a flu outbreak.
00:16:43.220
I don't think we would even know there was a pandemic if people weren't talking about
00:16:51.260
This is the biggest problem, is that we had real pandemics.
00:16:54.780
The Spanish flu in 1918 to 1920, when 20 million people, some historians say 50 million, some
00:17:02.080
historians say 100 million, but we had at least 20 million people die in 1918 to 1920.
00:17:08.440
And this is at a time when the world's population is less than 2 billion.
00:17:12.640
So it's barely a quarter, a little bit more than a quarter of the world's population today.
00:17:17.220
So the Spanish flu today, if we had the equivalent, we would be seeing 80 million people die across
00:17:28.020
1957, we had the Asian flu that went all around the world and killed over 2 million people.
00:17:33.280
1968, we had the Hong Kong flu that killed over a million people.
00:17:36.860
And this is when the world's population is less than half of what it is today.
00:17:41.120
So now we've got COVID with, I think, a little bit over a million deaths worldwide, which puts
00:17:50.160
And so this is the big lie, is that this is some unusually deadly killer that we should
00:17:55.880
That's the big lie that is driving all of this.
00:17:59.880
Anybody can go look up the data online and you can see this is not anywhere near a real
00:18:11.620
You know, I thought that the pandemic panic, it's so partisan in the United States, you can
00:18:18.480
The Democrats, the blue states were severe lockdowns and they made the bizarre decision
00:18:24.360
of sending sick people into seniors' homes, like that's what New York's Governor Cuomo
00:18:29.840
did, literally sending people with the virus to the most vulnerable.
00:18:35.260
It was a bizarre decision that I think he'll never be held to account for.
00:18:40.180
You see the crazy lockdowns even to this day in the blue states, whereas the red states took
00:18:45.160
a hands-off approach, I thought, oh, this is because Trump's up for re-election, anything
00:18:50.540
to keep a state of panic, state of economic malaise, the Democrats will do anything to dislodge
00:18:56.540
And I now realize that that wasn't even the center of it.
00:19:04.460
All the massive mail-in ballots, the changes to how they conducted votes, including in Pennsylvania,
00:19:14.920
Those were rules that were changed this year using the pandemic as an excuse to let vote
00:19:22.880
And I truly believe that it was a partisan tool to get rid of Trump.
00:19:28.220
Now, the only question is, if Trump is gone, will they make the rest of us still live in
00:19:34.220
I think it's been too fruitful for the ruling class.
00:19:40.880
And frankly, although I'm always grateful to nurses and doctors, you can't escape these
00:19:46.940
TikTok videos of nurses and doctors doing little karaoke dance routines in empty hospitals.
00:19:56.240
I mean, sure, I'm grateful to them for solving this problem that's on par with the annual
00:20:02.020
But I think it was always about an excuse to change society.
00:20:16.460
But the fear that we all had in March, April, it's gone now, either than for its own sake.
00:20:26.940
I think we know enough about the virus to realize it's not the killer like you've described past
00:20:32.340
Well, one of the questions I've asked in my letter to Jason Kenney is, you know, would these doctors be willing to give up their public sector salaries and start living on $2,000 a month in government benefits?
00:20:48.700
We're not all in this together for at least two reasons.
00:20:52.880
One is that, you know, yes, COVID is a serious threat to roughly 10% of the population.
00:20:57.880
If you're over 70, you have serious pre-existing health conditions.
00:21:01.220
Or in some cases, a very small number of younger adults who are immunocompromised, in which case they're threatened by all kinds of stuff, not just COVID.
00:21:10.020
But 90% of us, the virus poses no threat to 90% of us.
00:21:16.580
And yet we're still living in this fear of March when Neil Ferguson of Imperial College said that millions of people around the world would die
00:21:26.300
and that large numbers of young, healthy people would suffer permanent lung damage.
00:21:33.880
And, you know, when they imposed the lockdown in March, and it was going to be just two weeks, just to flatten the curve,
00:21:41.440
you won't find any Justice Centre news releases condemning it.
00:21:46.780
And, you know, it was fine to take precautions at that time, maybe have a short lockdown for two weeks in March.
00:21:53.680
We're now eight months later, and these measures just perpetuate the fear.
00:22:10.380
In Quebec, you've got police checks between different sectors of Montreal.
00:22:16.860
You know, you're leaving the American sector, entering the Soviet sector.
00:22:20.600
Even in Alberta, there's dark clouds of, you know, making it illegal to have friends over to your house,
00:22:28.780
which I hate to say it, but that is what living under communism is like when the government tells you that you're not allowed to hang out with your friends.
00:22:36.000
And it is so unscientific because these 70 doctors, they say nothing about the harms of lockdowns.
00:22:44.380
All the increases in drug overdoses, family violence, alcoholism, and people driven into unemployment, poverty, despair, suicide, moms.
00:22:54.780
Well, John, we're glad you're fighting on this.
00:22:58.760
I know you've done a lot of work on this, including recently writing to every health ministry in the country,
00:23:04.760
asking them if they've even started to count the side effects, how many cancer exams, how many surgeries were all canceled.
00:23:12.580
And I know that so far, all but one of them have refused to answer those questions, and it's clear why.
00:23:18.200
Because if anyone is actually paying attention to the side effects here of the lockdown,
00:23:23.540
they'll realize it's much more deadly than the alleged cause of the lockdown to begin with.
00:23:32.360
There will be court actions filed in the future.
00:23:35.240
It's just a question of getting the right fact scenario and the right claimant and so on.
00:23:40.520
But it's a matter of when, not if, when we go to court.
00:23:44.280
We'll keep an eye peeled, and I'd like to encourage our viewers, if they haven't already, to go to jccf.ca.
00:23:51.540
That's the website for John and his Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom.
00:23:55.380
In my opinion, the most important civil liberties law firm in the country.
